Rick Pitino has been known to stretch the truth from time to time, so with Iona in the NCAA Tournament in his first season as the Gaels’ head coach, you knew we’d get at least one whopper this week. Sure enough, he delivered. In a teleconference today, Pitino shot down speculation he’s a candidate for the Indiana job, telling reporters he wouldn’t consider any job right now he’s so happy at Iona.
“You could come to me with the greatest job on Earth and I would not consider it,” Pitino said, via Dan Wolken.
